Chapter 229: The Story of Xiao Heng and Ye Min

Later, I found out that Li Er was very different from the Li Er I imagined. She is strong and tries to change herself for the sake of a dream, wanting to protect the people around her. This kind of Li Er is even more distressing.

Su Li leaned on the arms of his mother, smelling the smell of his mother's body that reassured him, and suddenly felt that this was really good.

She said softly: "Queen Mother, Li'er actually doesn't cry, Li'er has learned a lot in the past six years." More importantly, Li Er has the ability to protect her father, the queen mother, and her brother. As the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Er should also help her father and brother to protect the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Empress Shen Wan sighed and said, "Li'er, you have grown up." My princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty should be like this, putting her family and country in her heart and her people in her heart. ”

Su Li nodded slightly, "Yes." ”

"By the way, how did the queen mother know about Master Xia Qing and Master Feiyu?"

Shen Wan said: "They stayed in your master's mansion back then, they were to repay their kindness, and they were also tired of the disputes in the rivers and lakes, so they have been staying by your master's side since then." Moreover, your master has no children under his knees, and the two of them are like his sons. ”

Su Li said: "I see. ”

......

At night, the emperor and queen slept in the same bed, and the queen Shen Wan told the emperor Su Fan everything that Su Li told during the day.

When Emperor Su Fan found out, he was surprised, happy and distressed. There seemed to be a thousand words to say in my heart, but in the end, I said: "Li Er really deserves to be the daughter of the two of us, and she is also worthy of being the only princess of our Southern Tang Dynasty." However, she has been hiding it from us for so long, this girl is really. ”

Empress Shen Wan smiled lightly: "After all, we know now, children have their own creations. Our sons and daughters are really outstanding and filial, and now that we have settled in emotional matters, we can also relax and don't have to worry about anything anymore. ”

Emperor Su Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, in the future, after Zhe'er inherits the throne, it is good that our husband and wife will live together in the royal palace." In the future, when they have children, we will be able to hold grandchildren. If you want to see where you want to go in the future, I'll take you there, okay?"

"Ah Fan is telling the truth?" Queen Shen Wan suddenly said with some joy.

Emperor Su Fan said: "Wanwan, what do you say, when did I lie to you?"

The two of them liked to call each other by nicknames in private, just as they did when they were younger, and they really did for decades.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Emperor Su Fan imprinted a kiss on Empress Shen Wan's smooth forehead, hugged each other and fell asleep.

On the second day, Emperor Su Fan and Empress Shen Wan went to visit Su Li together.

Emperor Su Fan wanted to know more about Emperor Xiao Heng, after all, he was his teacher before, and he always remembered his kindness. It's just that I regret that I couldn't keep him to continue to assist me in the first place.

After Emperor Su Fan expressed his distress and condolences to Su Li about what Su Li told him yesterday, he asked about Emperor Xiao Heng.

Emperor Su Fan asked, "How is his old man doing lately?"

Su Li smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, Master, his old man lives well in that beautiful place. Master is also accompanied by Master Xia Qing and Master Han Feiyu, and it is not lonely. ”

Emperor Su Fan sighed and said: "Alas~ It's a pity that my wife went early, if my wife is still here, I think I will come and sing with my mentor Qinse, and I will grow old." ”

Su Li knew that her master and mother were seriously ill and died, and now she still has some regrets and regrets when she hears her father say this.

If this master's wife, whom she had never met, was still alive, Xiao Heng's old man would not be so lonely.

However, she has been in the valley for six years, and she has never heard Xiao Heng's old man mention this master, and Han Feiyu and Xia Qing have never mentioned it.

She used to think that the old man was the kind of person who was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no intention of marrying, even if she knew that he had married a wife, she also felt that it might just be the words of her parents. She didn't care about it, knowing that this time when she went back to the valley, when she heard Xiao Heng's old man say this in person, she knew that Xiao Heng was such an infatuated person.

Because he had an agreement with that person, even if that person was dead, he still kept the agreement with her, and gave up the opportunity to gain fame and fame.

And for that person, I also asked to marry someone else.

This made Su Li a little curious, what kind of woman was she who could make Xiao Heng remember her for the rest of his life. And, since her, no one has been able to come close to his heart.

Su Li asked, "Father, can you tell Li Er the story between the master and the master." When she was in the valley, Li Er had always wondered what kind of woman could make a character like Master so infatuated. However, for fear of making the master sad, he didn't dare to ask more. ”

Emperor Su Fan sighed, no one knew the things of the year better than him. It's just that the first half of the relationship between the teacher and the master was told to him by the teacher. And the second half of the story, he saw it with his own eyes.

Emperor Su Fan's gaze became distant, and it seemed that from where he could see, he had returned to that period of youth.

"My teacher and my mother grew up together as childhood sweethearts. He was an orphan when he was a child, and he was adopted by his mother's father......"

Xiao Heng's wife is called Ye Min. Ye Min's father was a hermit, and since Ye Min had a memory, there were only Ye Min and her father in the family. Their family lives in a secluded place in the mountains and forests, and their life is extremely elegant.

Once, when the father and daughter went to the street to buy something, they met a little beggar of four or five years old who was beaten, and that person was Xiao Heng. Father Ye stopped everyone and saved Xiao Heng. It turned out that Xiao Heng was found out because he had nothing to eat, and he was found robbing other people's things and beat him severely.

The two then took him to a noodle restaurant for a meal. Ye Min felt that he was very pitiful, so he begged his father to let him take him in.

Although Father Ye was a hermit, his original family was actually very wealthy, and it was not difficult to raise another righteous son. And when he saw that the little beggar had a book in his bosom, he asked him, "But you want to read?"

Xiao Heng replied seriously: "Yes, I want to." ”

Ye's father agreed to accept him as his adopted son, and from then on taught the two of them to read and write together. Although Father Ye was a hermit, he had hills and valleys in his chest, and he used to be a person from a scholarly family, and the place where they were located was also extremely elegant, and there were many books in it.

Father Ye himself is very knowledgeable, he knows astronomy and geography, Xiao Heng is very smart, and he learns things very quickly. Ye Min and Xiao Heng grew up together, and when they grew up, Xiao Heng was not like Ye's father, he had the heart of a hermit and a hermit, and he had great ambitions.

Later, Ye's father died of illness, and entrusted his only daughter to his righteous son Xiao Heng before his death, hoping that he could take care of her.

After Ye's father died, Ye Min understood Xiao Heng and knew that he had great ambitions in his heart, so he left the place where they had grown up together with him.

Ten years after the two came to the capital, Xiao Heng went from a petty official to the position of a prince, assisting the emperor Su Fan, who was still the prince at the time.

However, it hasn't always been so smooth. Once, Xiao Heng was almost executed, but Ye Min saved her husband bravely and resolved the anger in the emperor's heart. This was rumored to be a good story at the time.

Originally, the two of them have been in love with each other for decades, and they have been singing harmoniously. It's just that a serious illness later, Ye Min couldn't survive it, so he went.

Since then, Xiao Heng has put his mind on the court, in order to forget the pain in his heart.

The emperor, Su Fan, briefly told Su Li the story between the two of them.

He sighed: "My wife is really a strange woman, if it weren't for the fact that we don't have a female official in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and my wife herself is relatively indifferent." Otherwise, Shi's wife will inevitably become a figure in history. ”

Su Li said: "Father, can you tell Li Er in detail the story of how my master saved my master with Zhiyong." What happened to Master that almost got him executed?"

Emperor Su Fan continued: "One year, there was a severe drought in Yizhou, and the imperial court sowed one million taels from the treasury to send officials to relieve the disaster. However, the officials sent were all a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, one million taels of silver, layer by layer, from superiors to subordinates, almost all embezzled. In the end, what was left for the people was only the skin, and how could this drought be calmed. ”

"If the people below are not helped, they are naturally prone to riots. Even, a group of refugees came to the capital to sue the emperor. The officers and soldiers outside the imperial city have been closed to the city gates, and the news of the embezzlement of Yizhou's disaster relief funds has spread all over the capital. Later, it was the teacher who asked for orders in front of the emperor and asked him to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

However, the embezzlement of disaster relief money was widely implicated, and many officials in the court and China were implicated, and the most chilling thing was that a nephew of the former emperor at that time was also implicated, and he was the one with the most silver taels. Corruption also began with him. ”

"The emperor was furious and sent all the officials involved to prison and punished severely. But I don't know what to do with that nephew. What's more, that nephew, the former emperor, has always loved him very much, and he almost regarded him as a son. He only wanted him to take out all the money he had embezzled, and then he would go to prison for a few days before he would let him go. ”

However, the teacher did not want to let this person go, he collected more evidence of this person's crime, and wanted the emperor to execute him. However, the emperor cared about his flesh and blood affection, and insisted on refusing to execute him, but confiscated his family property. But the teacher can't tolerate such a corrupt and perverted law, treats human life like a mustard, such a scum, and the teacher doesn't want to let it go no matter what. ”

The teacher took the lead in the death of the hundred officials. The emperor was furious, and in a fit of rage, he threw him into a prison and wanted to execute his teacher. But even so, the teacher still refused to let go, and still insisted on executing him. ”
